Middle School Mosaics








Our next art stop in the Middle School Art classes took us to Rome where we learned about mosaics. Each little tile is called a tesserae (sounds like "tess-er-ay"). Most mosaics are made with tile, glass, pottery, stone, and even shells pressed into mortar and then grouted. However, we made ours with paper and glue. :-)  Aren't they wonderful?!
